Where is that? Judging by your comment history, maybe Kazakhstan? I can easily find physical security keys for sale in Kazakhstan. For example miningshop.kz in Almaty has Ledger Nano S in stock.

Besides, you don't need an actual physical key for U2F.

It's already obligatory if you want to compete at the top level.

> chances are that it was unthinkable for a player to even be a contender for the elite level without doping.

Which is really the case for most sports today.

What's the big problem with doping anyway? Even now, everyone is doping, it doesn't seem to be causing huge problems.

Wouldn't it be safer for everyone if it was all out in the open?

Why are there so few women in the mining industry?

Why are there so few women in arms trade?

Why are there so few women in finance?

Why are there so few women in infosec?

Why are there so few women in ...

How is "crypto space" unique? It's so easy to find countless industry events which are full of mostly men.

I'm calling out your celebration of suffering. I'm not hurting marginalised people.

>Did you actually just compare being transgendered to suffering from a spinal cord injury??

Both gender dysphoria and spinal cord injuries tend to be severely debilitating.

We're not lucky to have transgender people. Luck would be nobody suffering from gender dysphoria. The people who end up needing to correct their gender are absolutely not lucky. Why do you think their misfortune makes us lucky?

I'm all for trans rights, consequently I'm also disgusted by you making light of the suffering implied by gender dysphoria.

Are we really damned lucky to have people suffering from an often crippling mental illness?

I'm all for the rights of trans people, but saying we're lucky to have trans people is not very different from saying we're lucky to have depressed or bipolar people. Perhaps we're also lucky to have quadriplegic people?

(And yeah, obviously not all transgender people suffer from gender dysphoria)

What are the downsides? People in the UK can still have private insurance if they want, which actually tends to be much cheaper than in the US.

Girkins words are certainly more interesting and relevant than Mashas, even if he is a madman.

These are not construction deaths. The article does not claim that these were construction deaths. That's something you invented in your head.

This number represents all-cause mortality.

These aren't construction deaths. This number includes all causes of death for all 2+ million immigrant workers in Qatar.

These aren't construction deaths. Nor are they deaths related to the world cup. This number includes every migrant worker death in Qatar since the World Cup was awarded, there are over 2 million migrant workers in Qatar.

Sure, except despite the dark patterns the actual experience of using Plex is much better than Jellyfin.

I have a smallish 100TB library I'd really love to move away from Plex, I regularly test out Jellyfin to see if they've finally made it usable. But sadly Jellyfin is still very far from being a good Plex replacement, it's just janky as fuck.

Constant playback errors, terrible client support, significantly higher resource usage.

TrueNAS is a pretty small niche, no? Not only that, but the usual way of using NAS involves doing compute tasks on a separate server.

Besides, the FreeBSD based TrueNAS Core will almost certainly be deprecated and replaced with Linux based TrueNAS Scale within the nest couple of years. Further strengthening the idea that this is a pointless platform to support.

Is FreeBSD support really something worth worrying about? Perhaps it's also disappointing that Jellyfin doesn't run on AmigaOS?

Which kind of nuclear waste are we talking about? VLLW? LLW? ILW? HLW?
